------------------------------------------------------------------------
The (probably) most relevant parts of my configuration are as follows:
(setq org-blank-before-new-entry '((heading . nil)
(plain-list-item . nil)))
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "todo" entry (file+olp+datetree "~/org/superbug.org")
"* TODO %?\n%U\n%a")
("n" "note" entry (file+olp+datetree "~/org/superbug.org")
"* %?\n%U\n%a")))
When I capture to a new date, creating the first entry for that day,
there is a blank line inserted after the deepest datetree headline and
the headline being captured to, like so:
* 2025
...
** 2025-05 May
*** 2025-05-01 Thursday
**** TODO Testing date tree
[2025-05-01 Thu 00:00]
[[file:~/org/superbug.org::*redacted][redacted]]
However, when org-blank-before-new-entry is set like so:
(setq org-blank-before-new-entry '((heading . auto)
(plain-list-item . auto)))
The errant blank line is not created, and the datetree is captured as
expected:
* 2025
...
** 2025-05 May
*** 2025-05-01 Thursday
**** TODO Testing date tree
[2025-05-01 Thu 00:00]
[[file:~/org/superbug.org::*redacted][redacted]]
To my understanding, setting heading to nil in the
org-blank-before-new-entry list should also capture this way.
Help appreciated.
